The amalgamation of industrial metal, doom, post-metal, noise rock, and dark ambience continues with The Jesus Fish Experience's third offering for Argali Records: Most People Stay In Corners. Emotional, cathartic, and introspective, this is the album for introverted shadows hiding underneath the damned sun of existence.

Warning: Please use discretion in volume when listening to and enjoying these songs. --- Argali Records is proud to present our first compilation: "Time Will Pass". While there is no specific 'theme' for this collection, initially a text was written by John Lithium explaining some of the concepts around the 'time will pass' set of ideas (namely, the permeability of time, the impermanence of fixed events and objects, and the subjective nature of sensory experience) [more on this can be...

The Jesus Fish Experience returns with his second release for Argali Records: "Nihilist Machine". A highly caustic, experimental, and volatile cocktail of equal parts industrial, post-metal, doom, and noise-rock, here is the continuing saga of what might eventually termed as 'anti-futurism'. Why set your eyes on the future, when the present is rapidly collapsing beneath your feet? An intense focus is presented to the listener: the juxtaposition of the relationship between mass media...

"This my communication. Panicked orchestrations of lifetime lost dreams, the null, dull drone of a constant pain, the industrial impacts of such a pain, and the rock of a hopeful thought. Feel my soul." An enigmatic mix of avant-garde strains of dark ambient, industrial, electronica, and post-rock. Melancholic, personal, cryptic, enigmatic, prophetic, and poetic.

Argali Records Netlabel proudly presents "Lobotomized Vol. 1", the first in a series of releases by Flat Affect collecting tracks from out-of-print splits. On this release, Flat Affect exudes a toxic auditory haze: an amalgamation of industrial, noise, power electronics, and drone, accentuated at points by obscured glimpses into the foreboding maelstrom of human interactions. As the musician himself notes, these tracks are meant to create tension within the listener, and to this end...

Argali Records Presents An Analysis Of The Past: The Genesis Of Experimental Processes Yes indeed... While our gaze may be firmly set towards the future, it is important at times to indulge in retrospection.

A collection of material recorded between 2008-2011. Some of these compositions were previously available for short periods of time, although many have not been released until now. This is to be considered as a compilation/retrospective, rather than a 'complete album'. Enjoy. As darkness descends and time quickens around me, I cannot escape escapism. --- I.

The Game Owls returns to Argali Records with their second offering: “Trinity Ocean And The Zero Desert”. Featuring his distinct hybridization of post-rock/post-metal and experimental electronica, this album is a decidedly darker affair than “So The Heavens Can Hear Us…”. Yet, with the frequent acoustic touches and mournful vocals, this is an experience that is both personal and universal in scope: dark companion hymns for the days long left behind, and those still remaining.

Two long-form, experimental ambient remixes of material from the John Lithium album, "The Remixable Stranger" (http://www.archive.org/details/TheRemixableStranger). In the midst of shimmering drones, fragmented synth melodies, stuttering industrial frequencies, time-shifted melodies, and wordless technoid languages can also be heard. Simultaneously comforting, unsettling, and enigmatic. In the highly futurist aesthetic of this album, one might be tempted to claim that these songs are...

If you have been following the progress of Argali Records for a while now, then you should (hopefully) be familiar with the work of The Jesus Fish Experience. Pursuing a dark, singular musical vision, "Cosmic Predation" fuses haunting e-bow melodies and dirges to the psyche of the listener. Comparisons to 'post-metal', noise rock, industrial, black metal, doom, sludge, and even dark ambient can be made, but thankfully the end result goes beyond such simplistic classifications....

This material was originally going to be released under the project title "Psychic Negation". However (much in the same manner as the aborted "Void Decompression" side-project material was incorporated into "Insomnia"), so these songs are now being released as a single EP. Two long-playing tracks, both slightly over twenty minutes long, they are both extensive meditations into frozen 'guitar' and 'synth' drone, the reverent ghost of post-rock roughly stretched...
